Generous donations mount up for community food banks

Supplies were collected from across the 16 academies within Redhill Academy Trust as part of our annual Festive Food Bank Collection.

Each school liaised with their local food bank or community donation point to deliver the piles of produce which will be re-distributed as Christmas food parcels.

We are incredibly proud of the generosity shown by our academies as they come together to think of others and have donated, once again, in huge volumes. Thanks must also go to everyone who helped with the co-ordination of such a large scale operation.

Wishing everyone across the Trust and our wider communities a restful and happy Christmas.

As usual our school community pulled together with very generous donations for the food and gift bank, this was across all year groups and we are heartened that it will be gratefully received.

Once again, we've had an overwhelming amount of donations from SNA families and we're delighted to be able to hand over our foodbank collection to Clifton Foodbank this week.  Alongside this, we have collected for two other charities and look forward to spreading Christmas cheer to local families and people in need.
